Colleagues--This message is the first in what I hope will be a long line of
emails announcing news, new publications, training opportunities, national
and regional meetings, and other important goings-on related to public
archeology and cultural anthropology in the National Park Service and other
public agencies. We hope you will find these announcements useful and
encourage you to send them along to other colleagues who also might be
interested, including list servers to which the topics are relevant. Thank
you. FPMcManamon, Chief Archeologist, NPS; Departmental Consulting
Archeologist, DOI; Manager, Archeology and Ethnography Program, NCCR.
